Relieving everybody welcome to the selectors meeting of April fourteenth twenty
fifteen we open the meeting at six thirty went to executive session came out. Will
do the roll call again just
a purpose all five selectman present as well as time counselor to the minister.
Pledge of Allegiance it's next Tropi out of your church.
Pledge of Allegiance.
And he should. Be. Well.
We did have a normal process at after the election each year we do
a realisation of the board. I'd like to thank everybody for the past year it was
very enjoyable a lot of work. But we got
a lot of laughs actually which was nice for
a change and I'm looking forward to next year and so would like to make
a mark for some of the chair so expressed like the chair. Will make
a motion that Mr Patrick Trippi and I beat we did here we have a second second and
a discussion not great. I have some discussion.
Make my new appeal because I do every year since I got here. A
position
a chair is one of many hours. Obviously I
didn't realize how many hours I actually spent on that job until it was over. But
more importantly. Patrick my advice and you can take it or leave it
that's up to you. But. When I was in that position I am vowed and made
a pledge that I would never. Make
a decision to
a department head to Mr Sullivan at the time was Mr introduce.
Anybody boards and commissions anybody without three votes as board
town council can verify what I'm saying to. When I was
in that position Mrs Bagley and I think it was one of the more important votes I
knew she took many votes and I supported her
a whole heartly was that I never signed
a document without this board allowing me to sign that document
there were
a couple of occasions where through somebody else's improper planing that there was
an emergency signature needed and I gave it to him within an hour
Janet had those documents mailed to the board. So my advice is in by
charter in law is that the chairman of the board is not allowed to make decisions
for the board and I know you know that but I make this speech every year so it is
be with me and I think that's very important that you know there's been jokes about
these two guys in the shower talking about me naked and remember that. And it's
Alan and Peter are talking about. At the Y.
But you know it's important that that we have an open meeting law
there's we shouldn't be doing round robin stuff we should be coming in here on
Tuesday night in been surprised by anything because those discussions are supposed
to take place here in front of the people not in town hall or at the Y.
For these two birds. And so that's my advice and I would hope that you would.
Try to do that in trying to do things here on Tuesday night where they were blonds
especially when it comes to decisions. Signatures and things like that making sure
that all seven of us here at this table the numbers to solve it is not required
neither is time council but we never did anything during the year without rich.
Being involved because every decision we make obviously he has to defend it so
that's my advice I make that speech was to Jim and so I didn't want this to be an
exception thing just as a background on
a child or of the Board of Selectmen this Pacific P. Written that by majority the
board of selectmen will approach the town the ministry so it's actually part of our
regulations. It's part of our regulations. Which are. There
is
a piece on the chart of that says by majority the board of selectmen will speak to
the town this time by majority I'm talking I was talking about you James what that
out that's what I'm saying is actually very quiet that's good that's what I said
thank you OK Any other questions on her own favorite. Post abstain five zero
zero regulations Patrick thank you condolences PATRICK Yeah. Now we got trouble
just for of course there's trouble in River City Oh right so now we need
a clerk I moved in Whiteside for Cork. Any
discussion all in favor I opposed abstaining unanimous welcome graduating
Schaik you. Seen the golden goal of the hack attack it was always in pretty golden
color two that I did not preach at this time either by the way oh good no. Good
news for you I already did check it thank you he was right all right so just as
a general observation any grammar mistakes or things of that nature that are now
detected Yeah we'll know who didn't pick up on them yes for the meeting won't we
know oh that's a challenge I think very much so. I think it's
a challenge all right announcements with the title but. Yeah I've got
a couple next week in this room at six thirty on Wednesday the twenty second Finn
will hold his annual hearing on the tommy warren articles the budget and town
moderator will also conduct the pre town meeting at the same time what happens is.
If income goes through the warrant one by one. They talk about it there's
opportunities for citizens to come up and ask questions here. The moderator throws
in her two cents were political and it's a very informative opportunity to get
a jump on what's going to happen
a town meeting so that you can show up and be educated as to what the issues are
what the process is going to be highly recommended even though only
a few people tend to take advantage of it every year it is recorded so it will be
on T.V. C.T.V.
. The second thing is today the beach and terrorism advisory committee
were hosted by the. New Marriott we had a sort of
a seminar if you will an introduction to what the beach and tourism committee is
doing. With
a lot of the area businesses that are involved in terrorism that went very well we
had Paul Cripps from the Plymouth County Development Council and destination
Plymouth. Showing us the way to setting up
a destination mag management organization where Ham That would be able to fund
advertising not through the town but as its own organization be able to fund
marketing efforts advertising get out on websites and do all the things that
Plymouth has been doing for over twenty years and doing successfully We also had
Representative Giffords there and it was it was quite an occasion. So at this time
I'd like to announce the rollout of the. Discover where him dot com website you can
go on the air take a look at it the media would make
a note of that it's just discover where him dot com you'll see what it what it
looks like there's already a few things up we hope there are going to be
a lot more in the future thank you.
Now I have. You can do you know I must wait till
Mr Holmes. You know I just want to.
Continue on the beautification issue I notice that
a lot of people are out. Dealing with the street in the sea and it's there
because I'm not supposed to what to do with it tell know what to do with it. In.
You know I know it's still not really all that warm yet but I'm telling you people
are really. Starting to catch on these beautification thing you know sorry guy
tonight blowing sand I mean it was like we had a it was like he had
a burn permit so I'm not sure
a blow in that scene is the best thing to do for you but. He did make the street in
front of his house look plain So whatever we can do to. Get the sand up and then I
saw the I saw the. Street Sweeper thank you out the other day I was following him.

e-mails the winds my street net two ends my street next remember will have
a few people there doing the best they can and they will get to you but

a little stub start to come out of the ground when you call those petunias those
little too not to look as crocus as so you know that means pretty soon on the curb

people show it and try to keep it clean and it's
a tough job but you know when that stuff starts growing out you get to see and I
mean it really looks it looks awful so do the best you can if you're unable to do

Remembering our. Support of someone battling cancer and it's just it's amazing and
it's something that kids if you're looking for something to do on

a pain. And I come down to pain with those. Hot dogs on my side to
get a free high value on it result he said for
a donation of midnight. We also have a mailing out to
a lot of local businesses. Not asking for
a donation but asking for their support to be able to put
a ribbon ribbon on their store front of the door. Just to make
a poster that explains what we need is
a boat in the in the days and times for the May I ask on behalf of the board but I
didn't just get your permission could you supply the town hall with some purple
ribbon. If you take them to the slackens office I'm sure that you're going to see
a whole lot of people wearing sorry boys for not asking for. Support among the
columns actually from. What we have. Some people they don't run they run
when they went you know and I don't know I got my garage all winter I think you
know they call me the front. Runner short of the marquis
a few weeks. Before right yes that was I know it's us yes.
Thank you so get the information over there and we will get the ribbons and will be
good all right thank you thank you. Mike just. Like.
You have. If you look around this room right now there are five
people see here Stockton's. To me I was steam town moderator sitting right back
there look at her with
a like green jacket on. Every year one or
more of us clutter the town where with campaign signs. So if you could contact
us. And we could go to those same people who allow us to clutter the town and
put purple ribbons up on their properties. I think that would make quite
a splash for you. So it's easy to get in touch with us and we all know how to get
at least
a hundred Patrick uses bigger signs the most so he'll need bigger rivers good point
but we all have Mrs Smith to sit near and I know she we all support your cause so.
Get with us and we get these things to all of our supporters and and I think it's
been great and that we can do to help obviously but there's an idea for how
completely I didn't want to thank you I didn't want to you know that Alan was
trying to keep up this year. He had he had the big son still he was he was jumping
right on it all right so who else they know I think Sandy wanted to come down Dave
so. That one day I thought we pan Dave Dave I have done here except Dave
so with this is it was going to give you
a sort of OK here I'm older I know I'm giving you
a mulligan Alright David Wolman District three Judy beat me to the punch but before
I saying I want to say congratulations on your new appointments and congratulations
Mr Slater on his reelection. I'm trying to remain calm and
collected but you people know how I feel about rubbish and I've seen the same
things that you really thought and one place there are three or four white bags
a couple of rings of black and then further down the road there's
a couple of white ones now whether that's because the snow is melted and people
decided they can now get rid of the rubbish because they couldn't pile in the snow
in front of the yard too weak to throw it over the top of the bank so I too lazy to
go to Marion and get rid of their rubbish now or maybe we should thank them for
being nice enough to put them. And bags instead of just throwing out the like they
throw coffee cups and pizza boxes that are in
a bag that's maybe something we're gaining rather than complaining but it's
sickening and and I've said it before and you know you can just get tired of saying
it but I totally agree Julie and it's sickening to look and see that on the side of
the road the snow is gone and that's the first thing we see is the rubbish that's
that's pitiful Now the other thing I would like to ask
a question I think I know the answer but. Is there any way legally that the town
can possibly. Be and package stores from selling nets is there
a way that we could put
a. Surcharge on each little nip bottle for I am getting sick and
tired of. Seeing them all over the world that's the big thing for the drugs in the
alcoholics and I and the reason I'm saying this now is obscene I'm on the road the
other day I was over at the C.V.S.
And there were three or four in the parking lot of C.V.S.
Right. By the street here if you go on the railroad tracks on merchant way they
were everywhere. But within ten days different people unrelated to each other
not from the same group but on Main Street in Wareham drank it down tossed
it in
a shrub between bellows laughter and chiropractors caught up and then on another
occasion right on the corner in front of them the flower shop there drink it toss
it in the shrub and I'm talking about ten o'clock in the morning I'm not talking
about half the doc now if this crap is going on in this town we're going to find
some way to stop it I'm off and can probably legally cut but those little nips and
if the cost went up perhaps it wouldn't be as easy to get them or. If you
know I don't think package stores need to have them on their shelves I mean they're
great for gifts on occasion or. Years and years ago I remember I worked for
a company will boss used to give one to everybody at Christmas time that's all well
and good you got
a cheap bus cheap Yeah. Right but no this is this is this is pitiful and there's
a lot of it going on and I've talked with Sandy back there and they in their garden
club them out of their flower boxes at the parking area right and right in Wareham
Senate on Main Street when this sort of stuff is going on I don't know how we're
going to stop it but but my God if we want any class in this town OK here we go
again you heard me say things like that before that town I love it too much and I
don't like to see it get beat up that way thank you play here CD
Kamado. Rora
trash talking already they're seeing the Slaven. Jolie got was supposed to be
with me tonight he is
a dog so when I'm here by myself we're on the Conservation Commission and the town
of Wareham has
a continuing hearing regarding redoing upgrading our little harbor and as they're
going to clear more of the parking places that have been covered over by dunes in
extend the. What I want to call macadam road.
Parking areas parking while extending the railing that went along the parking area
so you don't fall down the foot from the into the parking lot area to the beach and
we were thinking that maybe people out there might be willing to spend about
fifteen twenty minutes
a night or during the day to go down and pick up trash that's collected in the
grasses around little harbor before this construction in reconditioning of the of
the beach starts it might make it look better so I'm just saying if anybody's got
a few minutes just go down the little harbor take
a trash bag with you and take the litter that's been caught in the grass and it
will make the make it easier to transition the work that's being done at that site
. So that's it the there are three clubs in the high school one of them is
the Code Club One is the honor society and one of them is the Key Club Mrs
Franklin Mrs alley and I don't know who the third one is and then JR O.T.C.
I mean they're listening to us tonight and they are required to put in
a certain number of community hours so if you're watching tonight guess what call
me Slaven And it's certainly safer than trying to pick up along Stillman drive when
the traffic is not doing thirty five miles an hour. Give notice that anyway there
are at least four groups in the high school that are required to do certain service
hours and I would suggest that you talk with my pal Palatino.
And get him to get some of those community hours committed not just to little
harbor pick up anything. But how to follow up on the Relay for
Life Allan and I for years have gone out there and done our laps very thankful to
have survived two cancer treatments so it's a good it's
a good cause get out there in support them walk your laps thank you thank you Mr
Chairman one little point and then also. The grass and stuff and that's.
Unfortunately is loaded with ticks off if you get
a little warmer the season anybody is going to go in there they're going to be very
careful where it's already to. I'm just glad to hear that you tend to grant the
ability to do that. OK using applied at the work was going to
go forward so I did she told you know that she can imply that it would be
a violation. Correct.

People's College Yes OK I want to go you're right he was. OK.
All right thank you any discussion old favorite pose is there any if you know what
you're all said THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Thanks Q. All right next up
discussion and possible vote on Comcast going tracked this. Something.
Well last week the cable advisory committee met heard that link through our
attorney. There remains an outstanding issue. Who's going to
pick up the cost of what the cost will be to run fiber. From
this campus if you will town hall the multi-service center over to the W.C. T.V.
Studio we're waiting for Comcast to come back with an estimate of the cost
and from there we still need to discuss the allocation of those costs you know
between whether the cable T.V.
Station picks it up with one whether contest picks it up as it has been
a bit of back and forth about that. Mr Chairman I would ask that you schedule this
again on the twenty eighth it may well be that we have to initiate issue
a second preliminary denial of license and can't carry it on for another thirty
days because Comcast claims that they need time to analyze the costs and get people
out here to measure things and so on and so forth so that's what the status is you
know nobody's nobody's going to turn on their Comcast television and find that it
goes off like
a pump and. Will just continue to issue what's called that preliminary denial which
allows us additional time going to go shake at facts etc So OK I like the process
but it is what it is any questions of the board you know thank you for your thanks
. Special town meeting in Warren articles. Are you ready for these Mr.
Foley should have all received
a copy of the updated budget which would be the main one. Also within there you'd
see the M S budget the water pollution control budget the school committee has
voted
a budget number which is in line with with what works to balance out the budget
so let's you have any questions on there I would suggest So the capital plan was
number one which is number five with the capital plan I received additional
information today and one of the items since we're doing it as
a grad OK we're going to hold off on that one OK I have that squared also then the
budget and we're ready for that I saw the budget everybody's got it on the budget
right so you know you know action to about the budget motion to approve the second
question OK motion a motion made by Mr titled moment for him I missed
a slave it. On the budget there I was looking through it I notice like the logical
charges in different apartments some had substantial increases and others said no
way to grease the water the electrical costs go up of course we have the. With.
Credits which doesn't show because of expense it's curious why that was and
consistently this is something like water pollution control we're actually keeping
that level level funded because with the with the solar contracts that we have.
Water pollution control we can transfer money back against their line with some of
our other budget departments we cannot. So that's in fall town meeting what I'd
like to bring forward as originally when we went back up originally was when with
the solar contract they were supposed to be credited against our our bills and for
whatever reason and star was unable to do that it's almost like when they created
these these solar credits and stuff without ever thinking it through. So
we were left in sort of
a lurch as to how they would send it back and now it's coming back with sensually
as a revenue if you will so in fall town meeting I would like to create
a receipt receipts reserve for appropriation account so that way we can budget out
of that line and we can reduce our electrical budget lines and we can use the
monies for anything else or to offset the budgets get several pieces but if
they were a figure was all about this
a few body changes different places these are all things that we talked about
because we really cut back
a services to for for all of the purpose of the school did step up of. Work
with us for the dollar the most that we needed to have finally. I see the Capitol
Police Commission and I think everything is they just will see what the capitol
items that there's a few things in there about
a month to worry about like you explain you know anybody else. Is the total number
I just I just want to say you know it's been a while in coming you know it was
a lengthy process in terms of the working things out with the school department but
I would like to thank. Slike and slave and slack and white side for their time
working with the town administrator to arrive at
a budget solution again I know it was arduous it was time consuming and I
appreciate the work they did on behalf of not just the Board of Selectmen not just
the town I'm in
a straight about to be half of the time in its entirety Thank you everybody else
all in favor say aye opposed abstaining it unanimous. OK
Next up water pollution control in
a price one motion please move to approve second
second OK motion me in but missed the title been seconded by Mr slave in any
discussion all in favor say aye I'm opposed abstaining it unanimous All right next
up Community Preservation that's been of we move that right it's moved or. Let's
see Streatley else we can't do that when I said all the credit waiting for the
planning still on hold OK so let's go over to the special line item transfers have
you got that together Mr Sullivan. I'm trying to pull up some items.
It's OK. I don't know when the grid but I'm going to give you the most up to date
that we have right now received. This afternoon or this evening at five fifty nine
pm. Is is that enough first
a vote of. It would be right now I think it would be appropriate and I could run
right through it we would transfer from the town accountant salaries to
the and my ass data processing salaries the amount of three hundred fifty five
dollars.
These coding it would be it would be nine totaling totaling one hundred ninety one
thousand seven hundred seventy one dollars that's considerable.
For the ninety. One of jury denial of.
The next item is Board of Health salaries three thousand nine hundred forty four
dollars and that's being taken from the town account and salaries. Veteran service
is you know to leave we talked about the veteran services that we've had
a large increase and that is the amount of sixty eight thousand dollars that's
being transferred from the plan our salaries we have that overage for for two
reasons one we did not hire
a planner this year and two we've had an employee out on worker's comp for
the entire year of which we are reimbursed sixty percent the next one isn't
it's an interim introduced partner until transfer and it's moving from inspection
all salaries to expection all expenses thirty seven thousand four hundred twenty
six dollars Mr Moore is
a contractor so he should not be paid out the salary lines are going to drive ten
million in there the next line is transfer from police expenses to police
salaries twenty thousand dollars I have to announce that's the only transfer within
the police it's within their own budget and it's
a move that. The next one is from Tyler Cowen salaries to the library salaries
three thousand and fifty eight dollars we did ratify that contract this year. The
next one is from library expenses to library salaries the
reason for that is they were using. Through the library they're using some of the
grant funds and such to pay for the for the expenses and.
Want that to be transferred up to the salary so they could have the extra hours
this year much of that eighteen thousand nine hundred eighty eight dollars
Is that your total. I'm sorry the totals whatever you want and you know you are you
done with the nine No I'm OK dramatic pause. For
the next item is from Mr Layton salaries to street lights the electricity thirty
five thousand. We were able to have the L.E.D.
Light upgrades to the buildings we also had the solar program for some of the other
buildings but that did not help with the street lights that worse it's looking not
only were they slightly underfunded to begin with but with the with the dramatic
increase and stars it really took
a toll on the street light salary we still have the fifty thousand dollars to fix
the streetlights and upgrade them to L.E.D.
We're trying to get the. The it's not necessarily a grant for
a number and start gave us additional credits so we're still working to try and get
those for our street lights to maximise the fifty thousand dollars and the next
item is for municipal maintenance salaries to municipal meet and repair made and
some vehicles so again the totals one hundred ninety one thousand seven hundred
seventy one dollars and they're from all within the the general government line so
the. Move the brand totaling one hundred ninety one seven cents Sargon
OK motion made by Mrs Whiteside Second Amendment the title bar anymore discussion
own favor say aye opposed stating if you know. OK.
Health Insurance Trust Fund we're still waiting on the audit from powers and solve
and they've completed the onsite work and I have told them that we basically we
need this before the twenty seven. So just so everybody understands what that is we
have the health care trust fund from when we are self insured the last time we use
that would have been in September because we moved to the Mayflower municipal Alpha
Insurance Group on October one so now between the runoff from Blue Cross Blue
Shield Harvard Pilgrim we want to Fishel on it to state how much we have in there
what the balances are and to see what sort of decisions we have to make we will
have
a surplus in the health insurance line in this year's budget the reason for that is
we did not know if we'd be accepted into the Mayflower health insurance group when
the budget was put together if you remember they needed to vote to accept us so it
was not
a guarantee for us to get in there so clearly we budget like we were going into
that group or it's
a way for that OPI be trust that is the number for that or anything now that we're
still here for if we don't have to transfer all the excess in the health insurance
line within the budget I would like to put
a minimum of twenty five thousand into the old have trust fund and that will
immediately pay dividends on our management letter and on the future calculations
for op ed live illiterate OK I'm going to skip the police contract until we vote on
it OK and we'll get you can give us that we will give us the number No Well wait
till we've in the amendment to the junk dealers by law.
Right. Because the joke is all kinds of businesses use your mike your beat up the
way the junk car is written the best which going to go through it it covers all
kinds of businesses and includes churches almost everything you can think of itself
something used OK is me Mr Chairman first meeting we've discussed it
have you heard that here and Tuesday night. This this was
put on here for the simple reason that we have it least
twenty businesses in this town under the current by
a law you know under current opinion of town council they're operating illegally
they do not have
a license so off we had several options to go out and shut them
down or let them do what they feel like doing or this was
a last pitch moment to try to get something that time meeting which doesn't
guarantee anything but quite frankly don't think Tommy is going to vote for any
more junk licenses but who knows and then those licenses that license want
to be He's would still have to come here and. Request to this board
to get one of those licenses. Further study means that night talk in November
so there has to be some determination as to whether or not the chief goes in it's
not the Board of Selectmen who going to do that anybody can call the chief say
there's
a really good this so this was this was something to help somebody we can't pass
a policy that says hey we know you're legal but it's OK go ahead tell the family we
can't do that I don't think time council would approve of that I won't speak for
him but and that's all this was was to try to give those folks an
opportunity they are operating illegally there's no question about. It we now have
the public knows it and if we're just going to let it go then I mean it's not fine
me. At this point if we're going to let people have an illegal business whether its
job is to jam it or it's something now and we know it's illegal we're going to let
it go then where does it stop. And so that's what this was for OK if you're going
further study and change the bylaw and do all that stuff you can do that any time
what this was was to try to get those people who were out there today and some have
close by the way an opportunity or
a hope to be able to stay in business and make them legal good Mr. With regard
to. Further studying the matter as we all know for the study is a motion made
a town meeting without
a backup plan to actually study the issue to appoint the committee to study it to
look at the bylaws to see what businesses fall under this sort of thing to see to
create a body to actually study it is just
a way of killing something and I don't think that I might be was understanding this
but I don't believe that's Mr Slavens intent here if he does want to form
a committee I've got experience doing exactly that and know how to write the motion
for further study we did it with the dog by law Study Committee it culminated in
the town getting a pretty good dog by a lawyer out of it it's all the problem it's
a more time that's for sure but nonetheless it came out I think the right way and
if that's what was the slave it was proposing then I think that then that's what I
would indorse by I like to hear him say that that is in fact what he's proposing.
Anyone else you. Know basically want to come back in the fall the actual article in
this thing that probably I discussed with Town Council because when we look at it
we realize that it covers
a whole bunch of businesses that are out there and if we go ahead and put through
what we have here we end up having to close down fifty or sixty people still. And
that's really not solving I think up some not real crazy about going into. You know
a Salvation Army store down the street
a crime or having say by the way you're going to cause all to go to the Game Stop
over the mall and say By the way you got to close because they take in use and sell
used go it's the churches on the overselling Park they have
a room downstairs next in the community hall that takes in and sells you stuff
going to have to tell them they have to close the twenty five licenses won't begin
to cover what we have out there I just I'm not of opinion to go ahead and do
something
a rush to do it because we didn't realize it had more implications that we expect
it the way it's written in the way we have to enforce that we have to close down
a whole bunch of people and I don't think that's the right thing I think it's not
a problem put on record we're going to do this but do it in the fall when we have
over the line the problem and that's my reason for anyone else Jimi Now take
a second whack of this because I don't I'm not sure I'm being heard good we have
businesses and I'm talking about salvation I mean you're not talking about the game
store you can try to murk the waters here we have people who have set up
shop and all they do all day there's nothing new it's all second here
it's like a yard sale it's
a flea market store and you know what I'm talking about you can pick and choose
where you know what I'm talking about you but you can't allow them now that it's
even then you're legally there's not a question there's not
a question you care about most of these and you and I you just you know the board
is going to say. That's not that's not what I heard was to say I'm proposing to let
it go for
a year now because it is really because. Which means that maybe
November maybe next April because often of the I listen if that's what you want to
do that's fine but let's be clear that you don't control this board does not
control us any citizen to call the police to by falling. In the chief who has set
precedent by the way we have set precedent in this town to go to these stores that
I'm talking about in there been trying to bring education to the board over the
last three or four months we have President with the chief has gone written
citations and asked them to stop selling new verticals the doors so it's not going
to start because we further studies of what I'm trying to do it would it would
actually if we can get some licenses. We've got to get the ball rolling but to just
further studies the simple question of allowing the board and that's all this
motion is not do with the Bible or just to change the number of licenses that's all
I was asking for this was. Mr Holmes I first of all I want to thank you for
bringing this to our attention because it has been something that you've been
working on for
a long time I think one of the meetings that you were absent we did in fact discuss
that there were loopholes in the way that this might be written and that the twenty
five as Mr Slaven stated would not cover of the people who are genuinely
doing the business part of the problem is that. Enforcement in this town
isn't. A big E.
Word and that's not meant as
a reflection on anyone who works for the town we happen to be understaffed and
virtually every department. Including the building department and including the
police department some of these violations are Board of Health building department
or police department issues and I think that the message was loud and clear from
you certainly and others that that we don't want it to look like
a junkyard or
a big giant yard sale or whatever I think that there has been progress but again I
would caution that we I hate for this study I want it done yesterday like you do
but I want to do it right with the. You know I would I would just say that you know
not withstanding like what Holmes what might seem the board shifting away from what
you would intended here. We're still grateful that we have something on the warrant
to act upon even if it's not exactly the precise action you would contemplated this
at least gives us the opportunity to go into town meeting ask if they want to set
up
a for the Study Committee described how it would be constituted what their purview
would be what they'd look at what they come back with when they come back with it
because without this being on there we wouldn't even be able to do that we have to
wait to fall the set up
a committee so at least by getting this on here we gain six months on the problem
so I think you can you can look at it in that light and see that is still
accomplishes something even if it's not the instantaneous solution that we had
hoped for OK so I need a motion somebody give me
a motion. If somebody give me money one
way or the other. They will go further study whatever you want me put I think the
way it's set up you have to use the further study because we really don't have
anything that says we're going to do to get me into motion for the Study of the
motion of further study and in that motion basically when we come up with
a program without further study a motion a town meeting where we would put
a date certain place the fall of two thousand and fifteen time before the actual
article to establish
a committee to report back to town meeting yes with an actual article right so who
will make
a plan to make the motion please an actual. I guess that's always the process of
the say that they will come back with
a report right Jay MARSHALL Mr Stephen made the motion and second you get
a whole bunch of pieces second all right so we get
a motion in the motion let's make it clear the motion says we are going to stablish
further study with a committee in
a time certain correct OK the faulty how meaningful for of all problems meeting
with the really everybody agrees OK fine so motions made by Mr Slaven is seconded
by Miss Whiteside is there any more discussion yes I have
a question OK the motion the why not call. As created
was
a very simple statement to authorize the Board of Selectmen to issue. Into
change the number from five currently to twenty five. Now.
There was some discussion on whether or not we could lower that number raise that
number it was
a very simple article so now you're saying that it's OK to to change the article
basically with this motion to set up committees and all this other kind of stuff to
discuss changing the quantity of licenses that appropriate. Actually looking at him
looking at the by law as well because the by law has That's not what the motion as
some of the articles I don't believe the well we're doing is further studying this
but we're setting up
a committee here. Come
under. Educators put us in the three
the other could be for you is that you say to change
a number in the firelight so either you want to vote in favor of it would be your
vote or you would not vote in favor of what you choose to further study so it would
be within the scope if you chose for the study you want to give the voters
some method for their study so it would be within the scope to do that to further
study the number of licenses they're not talking about that memo to read through
you Mr Chairman if I mean you know what I'm hearing here is they want to set up
a committee this for the study motion said to put committee to review the entire By
law you know what is included in that byelaw in then report back to town meeting in
November that to me sounds like an entirely different scenario for there are
co-pays as opposed to the are Bridge nation of the article which is says I want to
change the number from five to twenty five. Actually it just
sounds to me like you don't allow us to change
a lot of other articles well and yet this is
a that Tiley different scope when we think they might not matter that sentence that
particular sentence and changing. Its numbers actually are. The the Senate's if you
want to change the selecting the license no more than five suitable persons to be
deal with and keepers of sharks principally for the purchased sale of butter Junko
metal secondhand articles in the town but it also goes further and I have the rest
of it it's all part of that one paragraph of whole book but I was only asking to
increase the number from Dr July twenty first it would be changing just that one
Senate shoot year actually it's part of. That whole section so they would
have the authority the whole section. Just to
you don't allow too many changes on other things but yet this discussion tonight is
nothing new the porny has to do he wants they want to for the story the entire by
a large It sounds like to me well that's not what the original lottery was Mr
Holmes that when you're looking at going from five to twenty five you have to take
a look at what is the definition of
a junk dealer and that all comes with clearances used to be the article itself and
it's
a very broad definition because if I am dealing with anybody that sells anything
second here and which then opens Pandora's box right to other I know where you're
coming through just doesn't make a whole lot of hope to me but if you say it's
a lie then I want to make sure it's
a lie because otherwise now we're wasting our time till November and secondly it's
not even appropriate going to be accepted if the article is changed the way they
want to change it to for the study and create this committee and review the entire
Bible or and all that stuff then you get to November and somebody says oh by the
way that was
a flawed process but also I don't want that to happen all they're saying is further
study well that committee and how they decide to for this study it is up to that
committee and whether they take it
a step further That's not you're not giving them a charge
a town meeting you're giving them the opportunity for further study so if you set
up
a committee and that committee decides that they want to go beyond that because once
they get into the zoning because it also if you go
a little further the zoning limits where you can have junk yards so there is more
to it than just changing the number and I think once they begin to look at I wonder
where the study going five to twenty five and that's part of that whole paragraph
it opens up more are questions that have to be answered I thank you for the cliff.
Occasionally I think in order to come up with
a number you have to understand the whole thing before you can come up with
a number so it requires to look at the whole thing go ahead and also
remember that the governing body is the town meeting somebody could amend whatever
motion is made we are just voting now Monday and we're doing you know
and still All right so motions made and seconded Is there any more discussion on
favor say aye opposed by abstaining OK so it's four one zero OK
Mr Chairman I pose as I did for the. We have to two of the capitals one
for the spring special one in the you have the numbers I do for the spring so I
shuffle right through me this phrase which I am going to transfer out this is
actually just as eventually go you go into the fin column book tomorrow if you see
the grid on there this is for the special. The first time you'll see is what
department in item description the cost the funding search the source and whether
we're going to do it via purchase borrow or lease OK item one six image
cast precinct tabulator bundles Jarl so known as voting machines. And that's thirty
nine thousand dollars and we would use the F Y fifteen certified free cash. The
next item is harbormaster And if you see the we haven't I don't want to to another
article for twenty thousand dollars so there's
a full sized four wheel drive diesel truck and equipment the cost is twenty
thousand dollars of which. Thirteen thousand five hundred would be the yearly lease
and the one time outfitting costs such as putting the the light bars and those
items on the truck so that's paid for from the harbor service permit receipts. To
sell them twenty thousand dollars for it's a new diesel truck this is
a lease lease so cost lease is twenty thousand a year twenty thousand
a year is not the cost there's an outfit of sixty five hundred on there so it was
thirteen for thirteen thousand for him should punish the lease for four years so
thirteen. Sixty thousand Lotrel. Thank you.
The next item is community service officers parking enforcement this is
a mid-sized four wheel drive truck and equipment the cost for the one year of the
lease and the equipment is thirteen thousand four hundred that is the year the
lease will actually be a three year lease of eighty nine hundred dollars
a year the equipment is forty five hundred and that's paid for Article four of the
Fall two thousand and fourteen town meeting if you remember when we talk to the
residents about the parking programs was
a key US this is to have enforcement officers in Laos also we will be able to use
that vehicle and them for activities such as cleaning and basically community
commuting Foresman
a few Well by law enforcement and such we have no extra vehicles and this is an
acceptable use of those funds from the kiosk program. If you.
The kiosk program we pulled out eighty thousand dollars in fall we've paid
a proxy eleven thousand dollars just under in signage new signage that we're
developing since we had complaints from residents and and vacationers and
tourists and such so we do have the new ones that we're putting up if this goes
through there will be fifty five thousand dollars the seven hundred twenty four
dollars or fourteen cents left in the account. The last one
is the water pollution control facility if you remember their front end loader
that's essentially died this would be to purchase
a two thousand and fifteen front end loader this vehicle the total cost not
including the lease of this vehicle is one hundred fifty five thousand dollars that
also includes
a v plows for them to point to be able to put on there and do that. However when
you see the cost of an A The reason I'm putting it in there is this is actually in
their F Y sixteen budget so we're just seeking the authorization here so they would
purchase it and go through the process of purchasing it now in the first payment
would be N F Y sixteen of which they have the budget numbers budget OK. When that
the plow on the cattle is that something that the tongue will be able to use Also
there would be there would actually be no reason why you couldn't. But you the
Enterprise Fund and the town are separate but whereas the town also does work for
the enterprise plus fund plowing getting down to their pump stations I could see is
you know realistically are you supposed to do no not really but if we can help each
other out mice will just give out what you can merge the plowing together yeah up
so we could pay their plow period if the people I'm running because you make one
you know when you when you plot out all the town departments have to come together
that there is no reason we can't work together or save
a street discuss QUESTION OK Ne Ne anybody want to make me
a motion and. Move to approve. All right motion made by Mr title so good
bye Miss Whiteside any discussion all in favor say aye I oppose abstaining
it's five zero zero OK right so I take care of that one all right so let's jump to
the police contract. So then we can get we'll go back to the article afterwards if
we approve it. Move to approve. Or
you want to introduction Yeah let him have some background you know the back room.
You know the river right so he would like to know the people what the heck we both
know you know when you when you vote in open session on the police contracts
usually just voting to ratify it then it gets brought to town meeting tactfully
fund it with. So this contract spans actually five years you'll see
it's broken up into two separate contracts because you can only legally do
a three year contract so the first one is for F Y twelve N F Y thirteen the second
one is for F Y fourteen F one through F Y sixteen this will be the first time if
it no pressure if you pass it we will be. That we
will have all the contracts funded not no not being in the rear since I've gone
through them I honestly don't know the last time that's been funded and I think
you're talking probably about two thousand two thousand and three or so. Oh
you really put a lot of pressure on
a serious. I appreciate. The work that was put into this and in getting
all of the the contracts put together all right so could I have
a motion please so no second OK motion made by Mr Teitelbaum second by MS
Whiteside in
a discussion of contract one and two OK All in favor say aye I pose
abstaining is unanimous five zero zero All right now let's go back to the police
contract on the special time meeting with his police union motion to approve the
second motion to approve OK motion made by Mr Lavan seconded by Mr title bomb any
discussion all in favor say aye opposed abstaining it's unanimous five zero zero OK
So that takes care of our time meeting ward for now. And next up twenty four hour
business with the title. Is what I have I'm sorry I don't know I keep one because
I'm used to that Mr Homos I think we do know I think I'd like to get on the record
in town council I guess could you could. Suggest whether it's inappropriate to have
a motion or to make some kind of an official statement on behalf of the town or
where ham it we do not. At least this board does not support or encourage
illegal businesses in our town. We are now aware of illegal businesses and I'm not
saying that the board in this is what's confusing because now to morrow mornin in
the underground mafia of the jump world it's OK to be open because the board is
further study in this and I understand the term meaning understood but but that's
not what gets into the street they have already made
a decision and said The board of selectmen says that we can stay open because
they're going to try to get us some licenses right and we all know that's not true
but we need to have some kind of
a statement here that this board does not support illegal businesses and by this
discussion that just took place here for the last thirty minutes we are not talent
businesses who are illegal that they can stay open we're not giving people that
authority we don't have that authority first of all hold on
a second but we need to we need to have something here and that gets us off the
hook let me let's ask our counsel about this. Thank you Mr Chairman just to
reiterate. It's my opinion and I believe backed up by state statute that if you're
in the business of selling secondhand items you need to junk license that being
said if you look at Division two Article four it's title prosecution for bylaws
violation of section one whoever violates any of the foregoing bylaws that includes
a chunk by a lot less other provision is expressed we made should be liable to
a penalty of not more than two hundred dollars for each offense. Dropped under
Section three. It shall be duty of police officers of constables of the time to
properly prosecute all violations of the foregoing violence. That's what your
bylaws say and if there are complaints to the police department there
is a mechanism to assess
a two hundred dollar fine which if it is not paid can be the subject of criminal
prosecution in Wareham district court just.
I guess I just don't agree with the characterization of what we're trying to do
here we're not trying to legitimize guilt we're we're not trying to say it's OK to
want to legal business we're trying to legitimize appropriate businesses that
already exist that never ever imagined that they would be caught up under this by
law because frankly the word junk was grotesquely misleading to them I've spoken
with Consignment Shop owners that the person was down on Main Street explained to
her the council and in my opinion he was correct to say she was swept up under this
that shop has been there since one thousand nine hundred nine in no way or fashion
what I've ever contemplated this business being junk in no way or fashion am I ever
interested in shutting them down just to show Blind obese science to
a stupid law and that's what we have on the books that's what this proposal of for
the study is meant to do and we have to exercise good judgment we have the ability
under the Supremes Court of the United States to discretionary only in force law as
Mr Bone can opine on that
a little bit as well because it suggests that there is discretion in how the Lars
and forced discretion to me doesn't mean you just let everybody run willy nilly
discretion to me means you exercise common sense and I think that's what we're all
trying to do here. Anybody else. And.
I did not disagree with him. I'm not disagreeing with him all I want to make sure
is that tomorrow morning when I walk out of my do the Board of Selectmen and I want
a statement of some kind that says when somebody comes up to me and says all last
night you guys said it was OK to run this illegal business until the committee
comes back with further study that's not accurate information but that's what's
good now because we're voting on this violent thing to put it on town meeting first
of all it's up to town meeting to approve licenses or community or anything then
they have to come here and get one if it's approved but we are not allowing people
to remain open in your legal situation during this waiting period I guess maybe
that's the easiest way to put it we are not authorized in those people to people
open if they get a complaint and the police good out there and they get
a citation that we're not going to interfere in that that's nothing to do with us
it's
a criminal issue Cristobal. Thank you Mr Chairman I guess maybe I'll just put it
this way. Regardless of what happens between now and the time that
town meeting actually makes a change of this by law be it in a couple weeks or
a few months. The fact that it is being reviewed over the next couple weeks of the
next several months does not give an immunity defense that anybody even knows
there's operating. A business in violation of the bylaw.
Hole like this Leo whole idea of this was that we would be forced into closing
places that because we have to enforce what it says the idea is if there is an
issue with a particular business. And this is
a complaint that would follow through the procedures they have in place but the
problem is that once we go ahead and change something that town meeting with then
we were required to close everybody down doesn't fit in those twenty five was in
this probably fifty or seventy five people in town because I don't I didn't take
looking I didn't take the cover of the can guys it doesn't matter but the bottom
line is when we look at it we realize hey we have
a real issue here because the as clear red it's
a second hand that's second hand foolish by law opens up to everybody that sells
anything used the matter WHAT it is and that was the issue we came up with right so
I think I'm happy you found it but the problem is the money because we have
a problem I like that for just the chairman I think that seventy five council kind
of set the board is likely and is not granting immunity to anybody. That I think
that works for me all right next up time ministry report please. Thank
you Mr Chair we had on many of the subjects but one thing I just want to read off
is Yesterday President Barack Obama signed a disaster declaration relief for
a severe late January storm that paralyzed ten Massachusetts counties the
declaration will make federal aid available to reimburse state and local
governments in the ten counties for seventy five percent of the eligible snow
removal and infrastructure repair costs incurred due to
a storm of January twenty six to twenty eighth. The only problem is this is me.
Staying where they only go for one of that we wanted to extend for the whole entire
month and the governor was out there lobbying doing everything he could I mean
obviously we're not going to look
a gift horse in the mouth. We're would be happy to get at least some moneys back
could could be anywhere between one hundred fifty to two hundred thousand dollars
back to. You probably won't see that next fiscal year so we're still getting some
moneys back for instance from an email. So but this is it's good
news we appreciate all the efforts we would have loved to have had it for the full
amount because we spent over seven hundred thousand dollars on snow removal on
a three hundred sixty thousand dollars budget system and has all the paperwork
employees source yes have been working on and one of the items if you look in here
it also talks about people infrastructure that had been damaged one there was
a seawall down in Pinehurst that was damage we've put in for reimbursement but
you're talking about if we're doing that on our own with no reimbursement between
forty and sixty thousand dollars which we do not have to do right and our budgets
to do right now we're well aware of it and we have sought reimbursement for it that
it. The the other item I have is yes the street sweeper is out
there we're also looking at contracting with with private firms I think the most
telling thing you can do right now is if you go to Google Maps and you start going
down you can actually it looks like there's
a yeah you can see the sand it's amazing how much is out there and part of that was
because of the salt shortage we had to use an extraordinary amount of sand so it's
interesting so our spring priorities. Obviously are our street sweeping but also
the cross walks if you look most of our cross walks have been been wiped out there
obviously
a major safety issue yes they will be the color green Mr Teitelbaum. You
would go with green right here on the right if. The cemeteries took
a lot of abuse as well that's where we put it put the energies and we're still
working really no one's complaining right.
And the brush cutting everybody forgets that the brush starts growing in on the
roads and can be
a major safety hazard I think last year the first time we actually saw some areas
cut back on the brush so we appreciate all the hard work from municipal maintenance
department and the efforts that they're putting for so thank you OK's it yes very
next is the consent of gender authorization to sign bills really have one.
Of. The usual reports I don't have
my. Well you know use it will be discussed you know I have to do
you have legal recourse. Right so does anybody want to give
a legal report. Yes actually we have
a record to give out as. I put it he handed out I took the old permit
application from Janet. And I added some things for the look
at it was supposed to be on the agenda tonight but it's not so pretty on
a ingenue in a couple weeks in what I have on there on the second page is
a list of things that I would recommend that we require when somebody applies for
one of those lies so I was right so we could just get that up in
a couple of weeks. Go through it for discussing it with anybody else several days
all of those people you want to. Miss with I just. Being new to the job.
If you could the selectmen could let Mr. Chairman
know when you're going on vacation if you know you're going on vacation because I'd
like those things to actually be on our calendar on a go forward basis and there's
a time that I know I am not going to be here so that when there were times that Mr
Teitelbaum knows that I know it's difficult but you know what we have the
application on the computer system so let's use that you know whatever we do
whatever you can if you can tell us ahead of time that be great when you're going
to be here because it does make things a little easier because I tell you what
a lot of times we want everybody to be here for to kill
a discussion and we will put those discussions on the night you know put them on
another time so what everybody is here to discuss OK.
You have it all right Mr slave in Europe you. Go for All right here
we go Y.M.C.A.
Sullivan and I met last week the why they're going to be promoting
a program called Healthy Wareham we're going to be engaging
a different businesses in town individuals except for and work with the kids all
the way through adults in trying to promote again
a healthy Wareham with the power of the emphasis on the opiate abuse problems we
have the town as well I'll update the board as this goes along the first meeting
was this past week again May fourteenth at ten o'clock most likely going to be at
the library now but the lieutenant governor is coming in we have seven communities
plus where I am. Waiting for final numbers somewhere between twenty and thirty five
people will be there for the different towns around I was selected and town
administrator. I've contacted circuit
a few days ago we had decided to update the master plan we talked about
a while ago Sir Pat we've basically been signed on and they will do a program for
a study in July first. You have to apply usually by December January you know to
make the first half of the fiscal year so we made the second half last night the
planning board met. Wal-Mart was supposed to be there asking for help or assistance
they have an issue with the gas company they have
a pretty good gas line it's something that has to be installed for them and the gas
companies not responding very quickly my concern is that our program that we have
with Walmart for the two hundred fifty thousand dollars of public safety equipment
and the hundred thousand dollars for updating of water pollution control is based
on them getting artist arcs with occupancy permit sorry and some of that money we
had planned to use for the fiscal two thousand and fifteen year most likely won't
make it right now so. Who make adjustments but not much we can do which is let
everybody know the other piece that was very disappointing last night was we had on
the agenda Bay point. The chairman of the planning board of course is also the
chairman of the production Committee and he was not physically going to be able to
be at that meeting at least for the first part of it he did make it after eight
o'clock in the the meantime. A point. Executives and their house
was the circuit decided that they would ask for an extension of this three phases
to this particular project one is what they call defensive subdivision the second
one is a site plan the third one is
a special permit under the change that we did four hundred acres of war you know
seventy seventy seven zero zero S.
To allow to basically feel like clusters on
a different ways of doing so only which is under our basic minimum. So they decided
because. You have to have what's called
a super majority which means four out of five members have to vote for they did one
did not want to take any kind of
a risk with only four members there so therefore they asked for an extension the
extension is May eleventh I apologize to the farm to that meeting hoping to be
would have important discussion that didn't happen. The onset of one of the pop was
there same thing and I'm especially disappointed for the people of Bay point
because as Mr Holmes also said a little off to me I imagine it cost them quite
a bit of money to physically comes that me last night with all the engineers and
everybody else lawyers etc and get nothing done it's not the way we do things and
we really need to think about these people who are clients and customers and really
do a better job this is a ongoing thing we've had
a lot of coming to us recently about democracy which committee just doesn't really
matter but just the same kind of thing on and on we need to fix this once and for
all because of him if I might comment you know and this is you know it's not like
when the water district meeting last night was
a surprise to anybody Well I heard somebody say that you know it was last night but
I was in the gym and you know. Into Schedule an important hearing like that and I'm
going to be challenges not your issue I we've talked about it but I'm talking about
the planning board now to schedule that on the same night when they knew that the
chairman was going to be as well who did. This also as our office
so at some point as the chairman after this is over after it's over in votes or
take an up or down one way or another I'd like you to sit down just write
a letter to the people who are involved and just say hey you know we apologize for
this we're going to work to do
a better job because here's the thing this is been not just this issue but other
businesses are treated this way Mr Chairman and they all have friends in businesses
in if they come to them and say hey you know how are you doing down there where I
am all this happen to me that happened to me or my God did turn in their friends
are from common and we want to we want to. We want to be pushed away so I think at
some point maybe would be nice if you afterwards of again do it during votes but
after it's over if you send
a nice letter to them I think that will help to start some you know what writings
of we'll bring it up again yes OK Last thing I have
a blog I'm sorry during the last couple weeks camp. Any cetera you're out on the
streets on Main Street pick you up by the post office accept your spiel about the
Macy's twenty miles away no. You're not getting Yeah that's
a surprise that's next oh yeah and of course on the cross walk that when he stole
a cross walk that means this was
a match as they go by it. Pretty much seems that way too so I don't know what to
say really you know I know wish we were at shorthand that we don't have enough
police to do the job it is but we need to set the force the speed that one has to
going down Main Street at fifty miles an hour better at times it's just absolutely
crazy it's not safe we have
a lot of all the citizens in my picking on them but they go to the bank they go to
the post office they're taking their life in their hands half the time. People
driving down the road and they've got this stupid cell phone up in their ear as
they drive through what's in front of them and they just fly along the road it's
time we stopped the stuff we have the issue with littering these are all things
that are forcible you know he tell everybody the only person people are going to
fix this thing is ourselves there's nobody coming from the State of the federal
government help us it's time people act as wealthy as and do something because we
don't have the money to do it so we need to help but the idea of
a main street which is there are enough as it is that the bump us everybody hates
were designed to slow traffic down oh it's done unfortunately it's a bit like
a little narrow Raceway for cats and there's no place for the pedestrians they go
off for that little loop there they go one step on their guns so I guess I'm just
asking people
a little common sense don't drive forty fifty miles an hour down Main Street as Jim
and once again just briefly you know Cedar Grove gave us money
I don't think we took any money out of the actual budget but I think we bought
those things with your grant money we have the equipment it doesn't require any
manpower we put the trailer down there it's got the radar in it it's got the camera
in it set it up take pictures because it was displayed and says in force it was the
jump from the car trunk that we yell at them I know but we have to equipment in
place let's let's put that equipment out there like other towns do when take
a picture right and let's do some enforcement. Give me
a radar gun I'll go out there yeah yeah yeah unfortunately that and my sorry for
you so I just I feel bad for having the police them I we need something that OK
Anybody else that's right and what. Time minutes. Yes.
